My Network folks have thrown me a new one and I need help.
Problem: W2K & Win9x workstations cannot see the e-smith server anymore in network neighborhood. They cannot access a common share (ibay) and map it as a network drive.They all used to be able to until more subnets were added.
Here is what happened. We had only one subnet. The network folks changed to 4 subnets and all workstations are on DHCP. E-smith box is still configured with a static IP and has valid DNS name.
The networks in question are
199.82.x.x which has 2 subnets in use in this range
199.81.x.x which also has 2 subnets in use in this range
I added the "new" networks in the e-smith panel as local networks.
I added the e-smith-server as the wins server.
Still no luck in seeing or connecting to the e-smith box i-bays. Searching the phorums has yielded me no usable results. I hope someone can point me in the right direction
Thanks

Have you tried searching for the server by name? I have two e-smith servers that are on two different LANs in seperate locations. I connect directly from my win2k client machine to one of the servers that is on the same LAN within the same workgroup. I connect to the other server via VPN. The second servers workgroup is different so I don't see it in network neighborhood. I was able to search for the server by machine name, locate it, and map network drives to it.
Hope this helps,
